Injury & claims management in focus

In October 2023, we brought together a panel of injury and claims management experts from insurance, industry, consulting and systems to share, discuss and explore what works, what doesn't and what's possible in the space.

Openly sharing their knowledge, expertise and experience, together, our panelists provided viewers with a deeper and broader understanding of what others are doing in the space and shared strategies, tools and processes to assist businesses to:

> Work with the insurer to achieve better claims outcomes – for the worker and the business.

> Improve claims performance and, in turn, lower premium costs.

> Manage incidents effectively and systematically to optimise outcomes.

> Implement successful return to work programs.

> Actively prevent and reduce injuries through improved safety measures.

> Drive continual improvement with software, systems, technology.
